Finally going to release the first of these tomorrow. Besides this one, I have to sit down with the photographer and pick the ones we like! Looking forward to it very much! In the meantime, Wednesdays should be seeing either a new Fire Temple picture, or a new Princess Zelda picture from now on! I also may throw in some goodies from past shoots--photos you've never seen before! Check back here on Wednesday to make sure you see it!

I've finally got ahold of my cosplays and they are ready for new homes, with fresh beautiful cosplayers to breathe new love into them! Please check out my sale over on Instagram and let me know if you are interested in purchasing any of these costumes. Proceeds will go to new cosplays, and towards The Zelda Project! Thanks everyone!

Hey Guys! Long time no update. I've got some news to share for those of you who don't follow me or The Zelda Project on Facebook! We're going to be launching a Kickstarter campaign soon for our live action battle sequence! We've shot some amazing footage!! Our core team is extremely strong and talented and we're looking to expand! That being said, we are looking for some seasoned and enthusiastic VFX artists to lend a hand in helping us complete post production for our Kickstarter "sizzle" trailer and meet anyone interested in working on our project once we're funded.

I can't be the only one who reports tons of spam messages on my deviations per day. It is especially bad on Wednesdays when I release a TZP photo. This has to be driving everyone nuts. I've been waiting for about two weeks before whining.. but doesn't seem DA has found a fix for it yet. I really hope they can solve this. It would appear some kind of bot system has found an exploit in the DA registration and comment posting code. It definitely ruins some of the experience of this site. Just awful.

Thanks everyone for your awesome words and support! Seriously I read every comment and the stuff you guys say makes my day. Myself and my crew have had a lot of mishaps over the past two years, and it has set our project back quite a bit. Nevertheless, we have persevered, and I'm so glad that the Lon Lon Ranch pictures are worth the wait. It was a lot of work coordinating the shoot, so to know it made so many people happy really makes all those tears worth it. We'll keep these photos for Lon Lon Ranch coming every Wednesday around mid-day until we're finished! Look forward to it! Afterwards we're going to begin working on the Fire Temple again... or at least I'm going to spend my time trying to find a 3D modeler who won't disappear on us after getting 80% finished with the models he/she is working on. That is what the hold up is with the Fire Temple. The shoot is finished and ready to go, it's just that we're missing some of the characters and boss!

Today was a really productive day. I'm almost finished with the costumes for The Zelda Project: Kickstarter Film! I paused my Doctor Who dvd so I could check Facebook and one of my friends left me a message that I'd received a Daily Deviation! WOW! I was really thrilled! Some of you had said that we deserved it and I was grateful enough for the suggestion but I didn't think it would happen! Thank you so much Deviant Art! Everyone on the project is flattered and proud! Everyone who has left messages, I read every single one and all the awesome feedback is so great and encouraging to us! We had a hiatus for so long because of so many problems that we were nervous that everyone would think that it wasn't worth the wait. So glad you guys love it! Stay tuned for our Kickstarter! I think you're really gonna love it.

A few weeks ago, my crew and I had hinted that we would finally be past the long wait for more TZP photos. Without further delay, I'd like to announce that we are finally beginning the release of our Lon Lon Ranch photos! We will begin with our first photo on Wednesday, September 12, 2012. Check back here on Wednesday for the first Lon Lon Ranch/Hyrule Field photo! Subsequent photos will be released every Wednesday after until the shoot has been completed! Thank you all for your endless patience! We hope that it was worth the wait.

Here is a teaser video to quench your curiosity until Wednesday rolls around. Lon Lon Ranch Teaser Video An Official BTS video will be posted once all of the photos from the shoot have been released.

Hey everyone. I'm going to be a cosplay guest of honor at Otakuthon in Montreal. August 3-5 2012! Please check out their website! --> www.otakuthon.com I'll be hosting a Q&A panel for The Zelda Project, and for myself personally. Please come and meet me. It's been a while since I've had time to go to conventions, so I'm looking forward to this.

Even more funny... now it appears that you guys, some of you out there who complained, got the photoshop hair taken down. Now there's a 404 where there used to be a scalped version of my hair. Lol. Did anyone get a screen cap of the picture before the site took it down? I think this calls for more photoshops of my hair on other people's faces. Haha.

I'm so amused by this. I usually don't post about china sellers stealing my photos, since the majority of the time it's on Ebay and there's not much I can do about it besides whine to Ebay and report it as false advertising. Of course Ebay never cares, so I eventually stopped caring too. Buyer beware!

But this... this is a whole different level of lol. They took my photos, and photoshopped my hair onto some girl. Literally scalped me and stuck it into her head. I tried to leave an erroneous trolling review attaching the original image they'd stolen the hair from and rating the "wig" 5 stars because it was MY HAIR. "This is a fantastic product! Now everyone can have MY HAIR for just $39.99! What a steal (literally!)." BUUUUUT the reviews are MODERATED. Of course. Anyway I thought I'd share because it's hilarious.

This won't be very lengthy since I am typing on a borrowed iPad from my mother, but I'm in London! This is a spectacular place. I want to move here. I've been loving every minute I've spent so far exploring it, and tomorrow I am going to Paris for 3 days. This is the first family trip I have been on with all my sisters in about 15 years! Yesterday I saw a girl in Camden Stables dressed as Miku. It was cute.

We are all very busy people, and not all of us have a lot of money, but I wanted to share a few ways that you can help Japan and send your encouragement. A well known Japanese cosplayer created the website Prayers from Cosplayers. It serves as a means to uplift the cosplayers in the Japanese community and let them know that cosplayers around the world are thinking of them, and sending words of encouragement and support. If you are a cosplayer, and you have the time and ability to spend pulling your costume out of storage, putting on your makeup, setting up a place to photograph yourself, and submitting a photo, please participate! The beautiful thing about the human spirit is that we rally together behind one another when there is a disaster and others are suffering. Not all of us may be able to provide fiscal support, but for those of you who can offer support in strength and spirit and camaraderie, please take the time to take a photo of yourself with a sign expressing your best wishes for Japan.

For those of you who are able to donate, please donate to the Japanese RedCross! The American Redcross has only donated 10million of the 47million they have collected since the disaster. Japanese RedCross.

However, if you can only text a donation to American RedCross you can text 90999 with the word "REDCROSS" to donate $10 to the Japanese relief fund of the American RedCross. You will receive confirmation from American Redcross for your donation, and they will explain that you will receive the charge for the donation on your next phone bill.

Lastly, Doctors without Bordersprovides aid in nearly 60 countries to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters. Doctors Without Borders provides independent, impartial assistance to those most in need. Doctors Without Borders reserves the right to speak out to bring attention to neglected crises, to challenge inadequacies or abuse of the aid system, and to advocate for improved medical treatments and protocols.

In the wake of recent disasters and catastrophe such as 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, Haiti's Earthquake, Chile, and now Japan, we must do our part as we always have in order to help our fellow man. If each person does even a little, we can all do a lot!

Long time no post. My recovery over my kitty and my move and all the things going on in my life have kind of occupied my time. That being said, my friends and I working on The Zelda Project are starting to prep for our upcoming shoot, and we are in need of someone who can rig models that are made utilizing Maya! We are gonna need someone who can rig not only bodies but also facial rigging! If you can rig in Maya and you don't mind lending your skillz to the team, please send me a note!

Love,Sarah

Edit: Someone bought me a DA subscription but the email said they were staying anonymous. Whoever you are, thank you very much! I appreciate it!

Mid day, April 8th 1990, I stood outside of my farm house in Texas and watched with wide eyes as my cat Kiki was born. She was the first kitten born, and I was amazed. I was 9 years old. Today, December 6, 2010, She passed away in my arms. I was there when she took her first breath and squealed with life, and I was there when her last breath left her. 20 years of my life I have loved this cat, and she has been my best friend. I was so young when she was born, that it has seemed like she has always been around. I cannot describe the dread that I felt sitting in that vet office with my old sick cat, who couldn't hardly walk, talk, or eat anymore. I cannot describe the absolute horror and anguish I felt as I supported her little chin, and her body slackened. When the doctor moved her to the little silver exam table, and she was limp, I could only stroke her and sob and tell her how much I had loved her and thank her so earnestly for all the love she had given me. 20 years of love is a lot for a cat. Dearly departed one, I will miss you.

For the past 20 years, whenever I would cry, she would leap into my lap and purr and nuzzle me. She would lick my hand and knock her head into my face until I felt better. I wish so badly that our pets could stay with us, because now I can only cry alone and pray and know she is in a good place where her spirit can eternally be. In time, my tears will stop, but I will never forget her. Never.

Hey there everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that my friends and I have participated in the creation of a Cosplay Charity Calendar for 2011. Called "CausePlay", the calendar donates proceeds of its sales to a charity called Room to Read, helping children in the developing world by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Some of the photos include Lillyxandra as Zelda, photographed by JamaisVu and wearing the costume belonging to FantasyNinja, and Lune as Link in an official released Zelda Project photo! Get your calendar today for only $15 and help transform the lives of millions of children!

Hey all! As promised we've posted a behind the scenes video documentary of our Lost Woods photoshoot! You can view it here: on Vimeo.com! We haven't had the opportunity to splice it up for youtube, but we may do that at a later date. Most of our content will be for Vimeo, however, because the video editor does not need to splice up the video in able to post the entire thing. Please check it out and enjoy!

On a side note, the well known Zelda site, Zelda Informer, is in danger of being shut down due to sky rocketing server costs. They need to make about $300 quick or they'll be shut down. They are offering a copy of Skyward Sword with any donation that exceeds $50 as well as admin status for a day! If you are a fan of the site and want to help out, please head over and donate a little bit to help them out: Donation Drive!

Proceeds of this costume sale go to funding The Zelda Project! If you enjoy what we do and want to help us out, but aren't interested in purchasing this costume, we have a donations page available as well.

Hopefully in the future we will be able to offer more to donators besides a listing in the credits of the videos and on the website. We would like to offer prints to donators, but we are afraid that could be considered selling something, and we aren't doing this to make a profit. What we do is solely for the creativity and joy of the project, and to share with other Zelda fans the vision that we have.

I am sad to admit that The Zelda Project is having trouble putting together the funds needed for finishing up the costumes for the Gerudo Valley Photoshoot, as well as funding the shoot itself. So I am selling more costumes! Please head on over to Ebay and check out my Mermaid Melody costume!

There's a small part of me that always wanted to do a decent photoshoot with this costume, but I hated the wig so much that I never got around to it. Well, check it out if you are a fan of Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch!

Also selling Lacus Clyne! The majority of the price is from a week and a half of labor, and the expense and labor on the wig!

I started a topic on THE ZELDA PROJECT FORUMS on the breed of Epona! We are beginning our research in finding the perfect Epona for the Hyrule Field/Lon Lon Ranch shoots, and we'd like to get the opinions and input of the fans! Head over to the forums and let us know what you think! Zelda fans are extremely particular about everything, and we are no different, so we felt that a little bit of fan interaction with us, and your opinions on what kind of horse you think we should rent for the shoots would be fun!

While personally I know nothing about horses, I have read many times in threads of the past that most people consider her either a Belgian, or a Clydesdale/Quarter Horse mix. If you had to find the perfect Epona in real life, what kind of horse do you think she would be?

I am a guest at the Tokyo Game Show this year! I'm really honored! This is the first year they are inviting cosplay guests, and I am selected as the United States cosplayer, and 1 other from Europe, and Asia are going to be there with me. Now, I honestly have no idea what I'll be doing. I've never gone to Tokyo Game Show. I've been a guest at plenty of conventions, which usually involve panels or speaking functions of some sort, perhaps contest judging, and internationally autograph signing. I am not sure if any of that is going on here, but I suppose we will see? They have not told me what my duties will be, but if any of you are going, let me know because I would LOVE to hang out!

I know its a little late in the game for warning everyone, but I've been kinda rushing around trying to prepare the costumes for the Gerudo Valley photoshoot and haven't had a ton of time for internetting! It would be extremely fun to meet up in a foreign country and have a cool hanging out experience!

I'll be promoting The Zelda Project of course, while I'm out there, and for the first time in almost half a decade, sporting my old Aeris getup! Hope to see some of you there!

I'm not sure what is going on, but I think that Deviant Art sent out notifications to everyone that my birthday was August 24th or 27th or something? My birthday is actually October 5th. You guys are so cute and sweet for wishing me a happy early birthday though! It is very early and I was confused, but it must be some kind of DA error that is sending everyone notifications !! THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the adorable messages.

Horse Experts! For The Zelda Project, what breed of horse should we use for Epona (Ocarina of Time version)? Keep in mind that our Link is almost 182cm so we are mostly considering draft horses! Comment why!
